A collection of movies (which often contain online quizzes) about a large number of technical subjects, including physics, chemistry, and engineering. Most appear to use Shockwave.PLEASE NOTE: There is now a charge for using this material.Sat, 10 Feb 2001 00:00:00 -0800MIT Physics 8.02: E&M Visualizationshttp://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=78433
These visualizations are part of the Technology Enabled Active Learning (TEAL) Studio project at MIT. It contains a wide range of visualizations, animations, and simulations of topics in E&amp;M and vector fields, along with notes for an introductory E&amp;M course.Wed, 8 Jan 2003 00:00:00 -0800Flash Animations for Physicshttp://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=85267
The resource contains many Flash physics animations covering topics such as chaos, mechanics, vectors, waves, relativity; includes a tutorial on using Flash with mathematical equations to create controlled animations.Tue, 29 Nov 2005 00:00:00 -0800Physics Animations: Electricity and Magnetismhttp://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=83817
An evolving and growing collecion of 3-D animations for introductory Electricity and MagnetismThu, 19 May 2005 00:00:00 -0700Electric & Magnetic Interactions: The Movieshttp://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=91345
(From the author) These short 3-D QuickTime movies of electric and magnetic fields in space were created to accompany the textbook Electric & Magnetic Interactions, by Ruth Chabay and Bruce Sherwood (1995, John Wiley & Sons, NY; preliminary second edition, 1999). The movies are designed to assist physics students in visualizing fields. They depict spatial configurations of electric and magnetic fields that are frequently discussed in introductory physics courses. These movies received an Honorable Mention in the Seventh Annual Computers in Physics Educational Software Contest.Sat, 23 Sep 2000 00:00:00 -0700Graph Lab (Displacement, Velocity)http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=89857
Applet allows user to make basic changes in kinematic motin and see the resulting plots for velocity versus time and displacement versus time.Sat, 5 Aug 2000 00:00:00 -0700One-D Motion (Displacement, Velocity, Acceleration)http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=90250
This java applet illustrates relations between displacement, velocity and acceleration for one dimensional motion, including the inclined plane.Sat, 6 May 2000 00:00:00 -0700Physics Animations: Mechanicshttp://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=294807
The Mechanics Animations are part of a larger collection of Animations for Introductory Physics and Astronomy. The animations are short (5 to 20 second) clips illustrating basic concepts from introductory mechanics. Many of the animations use 3-D graphics to convey geometric ideas.All animations are available for reuse and redistribution under a Creative Commons License.Fri, 15 Feb 2008 17:24:59 -0800University of St Andrews Quantum Mechanics Animationshttp://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=537567
This site contains a collection of animations for the teaching of quantum mechanics concepts (see also Kohnle et al., Eur J Phys, 31 6 (2010) 1441). Each animation includes a step-by-step exploration that explains key points in detail, and most animations include instructor resources consisting of worksheets with full solutions. Animations build on existing education research as well as our lecturing experience, and aim to specifically target student misconceptions and areas of difficulty in quantum mechanics. Animations have been used and evaluated in several quantum mechanics courses. The development of further animations and extension of site functionality are ongoing.Fri, 8 Apr 2011 01:22:01 -0700Activate Your Mindhttp://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=705975
